IF THIS FILE DOESN'T HAVE A `.ftl` SUFFIX, IT IS AUTO-GENERATED, DO NOT EDIT IT!
Version-specific release notes (`7.8.0.adoc`, etc.) are generated from `src/changelog/*/.release-notes.adoc.ftl`.
Auto-generation happens during `generate-sources` phase of Maven.
Hence, you must always
1. Find and edit the associated `.release-notes.adoc.ftl`
2. Run `./mvnw generate-sources`
3. Commit both `.release-notes.adoc.ftl` and the generated `7.8.0.adoc`
